KOCHI   16 Sep 2024
 
GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Plenty of runners but the field lacks a pacemaker so they will just crawl along. MIKKI EAGLE (4) was well held against stiffer opposition two back then dropped in grade last time over 1300m at this track where he fought on well to finish third. Facing a similar assignment and is expected to go well again. LA BONITA (5) is a six-start maiden who finished fourth at her most recent outing over 1300m at this track. This looks a nice race so expect her to be right in the finish. PRIMA FEVRE (3) finished sixth last time out over 1300m at this track on August 4. Among the chances. BAI YULAN (10) has switched yards since finishing 16th seven weeks ago over 2200m at Niigata. Easier here and worth keeping safe.
